Reply to ticket email creates new ticket

Post by alfl »

Hello,

I have the following odd issue. If a customer reply's to an email send from the helpdesk the otrs system creates a new ticket with a new ticket number. this happens to all messages.

I upgraded to otrs from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 in hope this problem was solved, but i must have done something wrong...

Is there anyone who can help ??

Mail server is exchange, otrs is running on Ubuntu 12.04LTS, OTRS version is 3.2.2
Mail server is exchange, otrs is running on Ubuntu 18.04LTS, OTRS version is 6.0.28

did you change ticket number method or did you disable the display of ticket number in subject?

I did change the auto ticket number. The original was to long for our needs and i only work with the id. I do have the ticket number in the subject, so this must be working..

An example of a test message subject: RE: [Ticket#1014] RE: test bericht 14.36

If your ticket number processor is searching for a format and includes a SystemID, you will have a problem like this.
Your ticket number is or may be too small to effectively handle a SystemID.

You pointed me to the right direction..

I changed the ticket number by going to the following link in OTRS: Admin :: sysconfig :: Ticket :: core:ticket (changed it to autoincrement)

I did it first by using guideline: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=7033
But apparently forgot to read the last line:

Now that this is done, you must go into the Sysconfig in the ADMIN section and look under Core::Ticket. Change Ticket::NumberGenerator::CheckSystemID to NO. If you leave this as YES, and you have used OTRS already, then tickets will not properly be automatically merged, even though the ticket # is the same.

This is something i overlooked.. It is solved now, thanks for your help.
